Leopold Bros. of Denver recently was named No. 9 among America's best whiskey distilleries.
Last week, Esquire magazine debuted a new list of the best whiskeys in ever state right now, and Leopold Bros. made the ranking of the 10 states with the "best of the best" whiskeys.
Here's what Esquire said about Leopold Bros.'s offerings:
"Colorado is one of the foremost states when it comes to craft whiskey, and Stranahan's, its most famous distillery, is indeed terrific. But the Leopold brothers, former brewers from Michigan, are making better, more intriguing spirits. The nearly 20-year-old company has a "pre-prohibition"-style whiskey and a Maryland-style rye, but its series of fruit whiskeys is the most interesting. Particularly good are the Rocky Mountain Peach and Rocky Mountain Blackberry, both lower-proof products that use macerated and blended local fruits to sweeten and add complexity."
